In light of the current regional tensions, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, took a dig at the United States on Wednesday.
Expressing his thoughts, Khamenei asserted: “The United States (US) is equally involved in killing in Gaza. The Americans have been involved in killing the innocent people of Gaza”.
The blood-bathing people of Gaza should be given their rights, Khamenei added.
– Siraj bemoans violence against Palestinians –
Separately, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Emir Sirajul Haq lamented on Wednesday that the entire world is witnessing the violence against the people of Palestine.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Haq urged the need for global action against the violence against the Palestinians. ‘’The United Nations (UN) should raise its voice against the Israeli atrocity,’’ Haq added.
The JI chief stated, ‘’It has been 19 days that Gaza has been targeted. Every day, our 500 sisters and children have been martyred.''
Haq questioned the role of the Islamic world, saying, ‘’For how long will the Islamic world remain silent on the matter? How many corpses does the Islamic fraternity need to wake up?’’
‘’If the ongoing war is not stated, there is a fear that the world will witness the third-world war,’’ Haq added.
– Gaza march outside US consulate –
Earlier on Tuesday, Haq announced to stage the Gaza march outside the US consulate on October 29 (Sunday).
Addressing a press conference in Lahore on Tuesday, Haq urged the people to attend the Gaza march in connection with showing solidarity with the Palestinians.
He stated, ‘’The United States is supervising Israel to subject the people of Palestine to violence. It is up to the international community to play its role to stopping the Israeli atrocities.’’
The Palestinians have been detained in their own areas. Wherever in the world unrest prevails, the US is responsible. The US is 100 percent responsible in joining hands with Israel to subject the Palestinians to violence.
